A good cartridge with a smooth well-rounded delivery. Available in four performance levels: the G800 has a 0.0005" spherical stylus which generally delivers a better performance than the 0.0007" stylus fitted in most Generic alternative styli. There is also a G800H for use in heavier pickup arms, better quality autochangers or arms with higher friction. In addition, two versions are available with elliptical styli: the G800E and the high trackability G800 SuperE (Styli for which are now becoming increasingly hard to find). None of these are especially "arm-fussy" but the SuperE requires an arm which can operate reliably below 1.25g. tracking weight. The basic G800 cartridge body is capable of being ugraded by changing the stylus, although cartridge bodies for the SuperE were batch-selected for best performance and supplied with a B&K trace of frequency response. The G800 also delivers a very good performance playing 78rpm records, and suitable styli are still readily available as generics.
Tracking weight ranges are 2.5g - 3.5 g for the G800H, 1.0 g. - 3.0 g. for the G800, 0.75 g. - 1.5 g. for the G800E and 0.5 g. - 1.25 g. for the SuperE. Recommended tracking weights would usually be around the middle of these ranges.Read full review
